11 Tell them that what you have done is a sign of what will happen to them—they will be refugees and captives.
12 The prince who is ruling them will shoulder his pack in the dark and escape through a hole that they dig for him in the wall. He will cover his eyes and not see where he is going.
13 But I will spread out my net and trap him in it. Then I will take him to the city of Babylon, where he will die without having seen it.
14 I will scatter in every direction all the members of his court and his advisers and bodyguards, and people will search for them to kill them.
15 “When I scatter them among the other nations and in foreign countries, they will know that I am the Lord.
16 I will let a few of them survive the war, the famine, and the diseases, so that there among the nations they will realize how disgusting their actions have been and will acknowledge that I am the Lord.”
17 The Lord spoke to me.
